artist Melissa Bathory

"Sometimes its hard to say all the right words. Life and love can be complicated and the only way we communicate is through words, touch, or music. The only constant in my life is music." From headlining Toronto's Indie Week festival, Melissa has also performed at the Toronto Urban Music Festival on the Bandshell stage at the CNE and toured with Duncan Sheik on the West coast of the United States, playing such legendary venues as The Fillmore San Francisco and House of Blues on Sunset Strip. As seen on muchmusic usa, Melissa's televised standout performance at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, New York won her the title of the Pantene Pro-Voice "Voice of 2002". She won over a crowd of 5,000, sharing the stage with Michelle Branch and Queen Latifah. Her song "You Are" which she co-wrote with producer Adam Messinger and artist Nasri won the 2002 John Lennon Songwriting content in the R&B category. They've graced the stage of Nathan Phillips Square for Toronto's Wintercity festival as well as performing regularly in their city of Toronto as well as NYC among others. Melissa and the band recently returned from recording in Philadelphia with Grammy Nominated Producer and Engineer David Ivory (The Roots, Erykah Badu, Patti LaBelle) where they showcased at the Grape Street club. Her debut album "ready" is now available for independent purchase and will be in stores nationwide the summer of 2006.
